In the sixth year of Zhou Yuan, Chu Zhouguo was drafted for the first time.

Its pomp and circumstance are not enough to describe in words, and the scale is also the largest consumption since Emperor Chu ascended the throne.

Even after the primary election, many people were eliminated, and there were still more than 100 people standing here waiting for the palace election.

However, only a few dozen people will be selected, and there will be quite a lot of elimination.

Su Jingxi wore a pink brocade silk robe, a peach blossom cloud smoke shirt, combed a lily bun, and wore a royal blue dotted emerald pearl hairpin and a blue crystal hairpin, looking fresh and lovely, pure and natural.

Banlan finished combing her and looked a little stunned, "The girl is so beautiful, she will definitely be able to choose today." ”

Su Jingxi smiled slightly, and the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth loomed, "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

Actually, she really wanted to be chosen, but her family loved her and didn't want her to enter the harem, but she wanted to have the ability to protect her family.

My father's official position is not high, and my two elder brothers are about to participate in the imperial examination, so they need someone who can create a condition for them, not to mention providing any convenience, but at least they can't be stumbling over.

In this dynasty, the hierarchy is strict, only the capable have the right to speak, and the humble are like ants and regarded as grass mustard.

And she, the fetal wearer of the 21st century, as a member of the traverser, she can't stand the trend of three wives and four concubines in ancient times, and she can't stand the humility of women.

Since it can't be changed, it's better to marry the most noble man in the world, Bo Yibo, fight, maybe she can really create a miracle.

For yourself, and naturally for your family.

"This sister is so beautiful and beautiful, but she is stunned," while thinking about it, a woman who was also a draft came over, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile.

Su Jingxi didn't frown, and then smiled, "Thank you sister for your compliment, but there are a lot of beautiful sisters here, my sister only said that I was alone, but I was also embarrassed, after all, I have never been selected as a beauty in the capital." ”

The implication is that everyone present understands that so many people don't praise her, just to praise her, a person who doesn't have any good name, what idea she has is self-evident, and they all laughed when they heard it.

Du Wanru was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Su Jingxi to be so sharp and silent, she turned out to be a dog that could bite people.

Su Jingxi saw that her face had changed a few times, and she was in a good mood, really when she was stupid, she shouldn't come to her if she was looking for someone to take care of her, no matter how her family background was not revealed, it would be better than a little concubine from the five-grade Honglu Temple Shaoqing.

Du Wanru twisted her handkerchief and gritted her teeth, "It's my sister who is out of shape, and I can't see the beauty of the other sisters clearly, so I look more carefully because I stand in front of my sister." ”

"Heh, why did the clumsy eyes pass the primary?" A show girl not far away asked with innocent curiosity, and then noticed the gaffe, stuck out her tongue, and shrugged.

After a series of actions, it does not give people the slightest feeling of disgust, but makes people feel cute and cute.

"It's my sister, I'm sorry, and I ask you to forgive me," he said, bowing, with tears in his eyes.

Su Jingxi dodged sideways, did not accept her salute, and did not answer her words, these people are really all masters of acting.

The others didn't answer, and Du Wanru maintained a half-squatting posture, a little embarrassed, and set her eyes on her sister-in-law.

Du Wanxi snorted coldly, turned her head, and stopped looking at her.

Without waiting for Du Wanru's tears to fall, a father-in-law walked over surrounded by several little eunuchs, cleared his throat, raised his voice and said, "The emperor has a decree, all the show girls are divided into groups of five to meet them, and those who call their names will follow these fathers-in-law to the palace for selection, and those who do not call their names will wait here." ”

"The courtiers obey the order," the show girls are blessed.

The palace selection was divided according to his father's official character and concubines, and Su Jingxi was ranked behind.

Fortunately, I didn't apply rouge in the morning, I only clicked my lips, and I saw several other show girls who were still waiting here, touching up their makeup from time to time, and they felt tired and panicked when they looked at it.

From time to time, I heard the cry of the show girl, presumably she was abandoned.

After more than an hour, it was finally Su Jingxi's turn, followed by a father-in-law, and a group of five people walked forward.

was led to a courtyard to wait temporarily, there was still some distance from the courtyard of the selection, and there were two groups of show girls waiting in front, and everyone present did not squint, looking down at their soft uppers.

The previous batch of show girls went in, and it didn't take long for Su Jingxi's batch to arrive.

It is said that he entered the temple for selection, but in fact he could not enter the temple, but stayed at the door of the temple.

Stand still and salute according to the rules, "The courtiers wish the emperor and queen all blessings." ”

"Get up," the queen said, "raise your head and let the emperor see." ”

When Su Jingxi heard the queen above say this, she didn't dare to really raise her head, she only raised her slightly lowered head, and her eyes stayed on the dragon head on the emperor's dragon robe.

The queen and Concubine Xian asked a few questions respectively, but Concubine Shu on the side didn't say a word.

Su Jingxi is the fourth person, the first person was given a brand to be selected, and the next two people were given flowers.

When it was Su Jingxi's turn, an older eunuch standing at the head of the emperor sang, "Su Jingxi, the daughter of the Wupin Hanlin Academy, came to see her, at the age of fourteen ......."

Su Jingxi took two steps forward, made a big salute, and knelt down, "Courtier Su Jingxi pays a visit to the emperor and queen, and wishes the emperor and queen all blessings and peace." ”

"Raise your head," Shu Guifei said suddenly.

Su Jingxi didn't think about it, and raised her head slightly.

"But 'Fu Kun, its tranquility is also beautiful, and its movement is also clear, and it is to be born with a wide range of people'?" A clear, deep voice sounded.

Su Jingxi was stunned, "If you go back to the emperor, it's exact." ”

"What's wrong?" The tone is faint, but full of majesty. "Back to the emperor, the courtiers just thought that the emperor would say, 'Brothers are both brothers, harmonious and happy'."

Su Jingxi decided to take a risk, this sentence was in her mind several times, but it was also a momentary thing.

Su Jingxi opened her mouth and said, and after speaking, she showed a smile a little embarrassed, so that the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth appeared.

Zong Zhengjin suddenly felt a little interesting, she was obviously not afraid of him, but she pretended to be afraid of him, he naturally knew that what she said was the truth.

It's just that this guts really isn't too big?

"Bold, can you question the emperor's words casually?" Shu Guifei's soft words were full of danger.

"The courtiers know their mistakes, please forgive the emperor," Su Jingxi fell to the ground and said with a slight choked voice.

Only in this way will they feel that she has no scheming, and knowing that fear can make them feel safe.

"Look at what my sister said, such a young child, what do you know, it will frighten her," the queen played a round field, and she never spared no effort to fight against Shu Guifei.

Su Jingxi didn't think that the two of them had fought to this point, and they really didn't let go.

Without waiting for Concubine Shu to speak again, Zong Zhengjin spoke directly, "That's it, Shu'er, you have to get along well in the future, see each other every day, you can't talk like this anymore." ”

In a word, it means that she was given a brand to keep the election, and it also put out the war between the two women immediately.

Su Jingxi saluted again and thanked her, revealing a smug smile.

Turning around slightly, she didn't expect to be caught by Zong Zhengjin, Su Jingxi was a little stunned, and bit her lip unconsciously.

Everything happened in an instant, and naturally no one saw it, but Su Jingxi felt a little uneasy in her heart.

The emperor's gaze is really not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Su Jingxi went to a palace under the leadership of another eunuch, where all the selected show girls were here, waiting for the other unselected people, and they could only go home after they were done.

Su Jingxi found a corner and sat down, there were probably more than thirty show girls in the hall.

She has always been quiet, and she has not communicated with anyone else, to be precise, she has no circle.

Family background is the only criterion for measuring the size of the circle.

Half an hour later, all the show girls were selected, and looking at the flower-like girls in the hall, Su Jingxi only felt that the emperor was blessed.

When she went out of the palace gate, she saw her eldest brother and second brother standing in the crowd from a distance.

"Big brother, second brother, I'm here," Su Jingxi waved her hand.

"How? How are you doing these days? Has anyone bullied you? Her second brother pulled her and looked her up and down, "Why do you feel a little thinner?" Isn't it ......"

Su Jingxi's heart warmed, this is the real family, they always care about whether you are doing well, how you eat and how you sleep.

"Let's talk about it when I go home," her eldest brother was obviously much calmer, and he glanced around, and there were many people.

Su Jingxi had no opinion, got into the carriage, and ate the chestnut cake prepared for her by her mother, which was her favorite snack, and there was no one.

When she got home, she got out of the carriage and saw her mother and father standing at the door waiting for her, "Dad, mother." ”

"Little master, ...... minister," Su Shuyan said to her mother and was about to kneel.

Su Jingxi hurriedly helped them up, "Dad, mother, you have tormented the child......"

Su Shuyan insisted on finishing the ceremony, "Now that the little master is a royal man, he should be more careful in his actions, so as not to be caught." ”

"My son, why did you choose it, how will you ...... it in the future" Su's tears kept falling, wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

"Mother said cautiously, thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces, the emperor's gifts, and the honor of our Su family," Su Jingxi interrupted without waiting for her mother to finish.

"Let's all go in, it's inconvenient to stand at the door," Su Junde continued.

People come and go, but I am afraid that if someone hears it, it will invite death.

Su Shuyan glanced at his children appreciatively, and said to his wife, "Go in, go in, Xi'er is also tired, go back and talk well." ”

Su Jingxi held her mother's arm and silently made up her mind in her heart that she must protect this family well.
